Abstract :
We have designed a family of compact and modular continuous wave electron linear accelerators that produce 50 mA beams with energies from 0.6 to 10 MeV in increments of 600 keV for industrial, medical, and environmental irradiation applications. Here we report on the performance of our two-section 1.2 MeV/60 kW prototype
